8October to November
The Enchanted Forest 2026

There's something magical about walking through a forest after dark when every tree is lit and music drifts through the pines. For a month every autumn, Faskally Wood, just outside Pitlochry, becomes The Enchanted Forest, with a new theme, new light installations and music written to be heard in the open air.

2026 is its twenty-fifth year, and it runs from Thursday 8 October to Sunday 8 November. The walk takes about an hour. Tickets are booked by date. Wrap up warm and take the bus from town, as the wood has no parking of its own.
